Gold Editorials & Commentary

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Precious Metals disappointed again. The miners were leading the metals but the metals broke down from bear flag patterns and that took the miners lower, suggesting an interim top is in place.

In February, the World Gold Council released the newest edition of Gold Investor. What can we learn from the report? Let’s discuss gold’s role in the onslaught of the cashless society, its role as a portfolio diversifier, reverse asset and source of liquidity.

While we have recently suggested the US stock market is poised for further upside price activity with a moderately strong upside price “bias”, our researchers continue to believe the US stock markets will not break out to the upside until the Russell 2000 breaks the...

London continued to lead the U.K.’s weakening property market at the start of 2019, with prices falling the most since the financial crisis a decade ago.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending and presenting at the Oxford Club’s 21st Annual Investment U Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida. The main topic was the current retirement crisis. Baby boomers are reaching retirement in worse financial shape than the...

It’s not that often that we see such a strong confluence of two rarely occurring phenomena. The deeper you go in exploring them, the more sense they make. You see, it’s the strength of complementarity in action. Never to miss a paradigm-changing event, we’re proud...

In an interview I did last week with USA Watchdog’s Greg Hunter, I came across as a lukewarm gold bull. Although many of those who commented apparently agreed with my grim deflationary scenario for the global economy, the negative implications this could have for...

One of my members laughingly posted an article in our chatroom entitled "Riding the Bond Rally No One Saw Coming." Were you one of the many who did not see this rally coming? The point my member was trying to make was that while we were preparing for this rally...

Since a short-term top was diagnosed last week, very little action has followed. The SPX traded in a 50-point range which, by today’s volatile standards, has to be considered ‘sideways’. From the perspective of the rally’s 2346 low to-date, the trading of the past...

"What—Me Worry?" Indeed 'twas just one week ago that we penned "Gold's Short-Lived Short Trend". But then Gold whilst steadying to a bruising right royal Brexit-and-all-else-be-damned kick in the butt went on to settle yesterday (Friday) at the noted 1297 level, a 1...

The Dow Jones closed higher this week, with a BEV Value of -3.35% from its last all-time high of last October. Last week it closed with a BEV value of -4.94%. That’s progress as I understand it, though we see nothing exciting happening in the Dow’s BEV chart below....

As we've been suggesting for months, expect continued moderate price weakness in gold and silver through most of April 2019 and possibly into early May 2019 before a strong price rally will setup and push gold prices well above $1500 before the end of 2019. 

The banking cartel, central banks and governments create debts – dollars, yen, pounds, and euros and inject them into economies. Those new currency units make existing units less valuable. They purchase less—called devaluation—and prices rise. The devaluation...

Our proprietary cycle indicator is up. Gold sector is on a new major buy signal. GLD is on short-term sell signal. GDX is on short-term buy signal. XGD.to is on short-term buy signal. GDXJ is on short-term sell signal. 

Here are today's videos and charts.

Do you want to protect your capital against recession? Great, just like us and millions of other people. The key questions is, thus, how to predict that the danger is coming. We invite you to read our today’s article and find out what are key recession indicators –...

Okay, now I am getting geeked out. One of the most fun and rare times in what I do is when something big happens that I feel in my gut means something, but about which I am not able to come forth with a ready explanation of the meaning (without sounding like a know-...

On March 6th, I put out a “less-than-ideal” BUY SIGNAL on the precious metals but made the comment that silver needed to get “in gear” lest the rally fail and true to form, the rally failed two days ago when silver couldn’t even surmount its 50-dma while gold did...

Gold was smacked $22 from top to bottom overnight and this morning.  It was a classic paper derivative raid on the gold price, which was implemented after the large physical gold buyers in the eastern hemisphere had closed shop for the day.  This is what it looks...

The U.S. dollar is on the move and many currency pairs are feeling the heat. Keeping a watchful eye on the hints dropped along the way is a surefire way to gain. The pairs of our interest have been building upon their recent moves to our satisfaction and if not...

The U.S. yield curve extended its inversion. Everyone and their brother knows that recession must definitely be on the horizon. We are all doomed, so gold can only go up now, right?

Generations of people have learned to live with boom and bust economic cycles. Years of relative plenty were followed, as night follows day, by grief including high unemployment and forced emigration on a large scale.

Late last year, Barrick Gold, the world’s largest gold miner in terms of reserves, made headlines when it announced its acquisition of Randgold Resources, in an $18bn mega-merger that marked a key moment for the mining industry.

I have not been happy about the pattern that has been forming in gold since it plunged rather rudely and sharply around the end of February. The concern that was engendered by that plunge and the accompanying momentum breakdown, which we can see on gold’s latest 8-...

Bond yields are crashing in major markets all around the world as fears of a global economic slowdown have prompted investors to seek shelter in low-risk government debt. Both Germany and Japan’s 10-year bond yields are back below zero, marking the first time we’ve...

We previously wrote about the situation being similar to 2012 with regard to overall price movement in gold and in particular with regard to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement that has been just reached. The yellow metal declined by a few dollars yesterday, just like...

In our view, the gold story is getting much simpler and much more urgent. Here is how we see it. The Fed cannot exit QE. QE is a failed policy. More QE is coming. Buy gold to preserve capital.

A Perfect Storm is hitting the Gold market, with an internal factor (QE), an external factor (SGE), and a systemic factor (Basel). All three forces are positive in releasing Gold from the corrupt clutches of the Anglo-American banker organization.

April Gold’s tortuous slog toward an ‘easy’ rally target at 1332.00 warrants a closer look at the bearish case. For if the futures were to fall just $9 to the green line shown in the chart (click on inset), that would trip a theoretical sell signal to as low as 1255...

Maybe you have some gold (and silver) but not enough. Maybe you haven't added to your stash for quite a while, and you kinda' forgot why you bought it in the first place. Or perhaps you don't own any precious metals at all!
